Ugh...yet another scare...

[Jdurand]

I experienced sudden hearing loss in my right ear with severe vertigo several years ago and was very sick. I was basically unable to care for myself, so yeah, very sick. Lots of trips to the hospital for tests, MRI's, CAT scans, numerous blood tests and all tests came back negative for anything. Finding a cause for sudden hearing loss is sometimes not possible as it was in my case and as sick as I was I thought for sure it had to be a tumor or something equally as scary, nope. Even my family doc thought it was bad news when he first saw me. Whatever it was took me down hard and did do some damage. I experience random bouts of tinnitus and vertigo. This all began in 2003 and I've been back a few times more for different tests with a neurologist and audiologist and still have not figured out the cause, all we know is that my right side is damaged. For this guy to just off handedly blame PG is ludicrous. I vape like a fiend and it has not once aggravated my situation.

Well there you go, now you know the cause. Let your doc know it's all good from here on. lol

I believe it does have some effects on tinitus. When I first started vaping I did notice my tinitus got a little worse but it has subsided since I've adjusted my PG/VG levels. As far as total hearing loss I would be doubtful. I would be more inclined to suspect that huge speaker blaring into his ear rather than his vape.

Yeah, all those vapers who don't understand the connection between the ears, nose, and throat.

Reading through people's comments here only suggests they jerk their knees just as much as this EDM guy.

Right? As if loud music has nothing to do with hearing loss. Sheesh!

WHAT? HEAVY METAL AT HIGH VOLUMES CAUSES HEARING LOSS YA SAY???

Arggg. I hate to admit it, but this is were I lose patience, LOL. Yap, patience has flown out the window. Running the other way towards SANITY.

Darn, I really liked Rob Swire. Not just a DJ...he's invented a lot of the instruments he uses. Pendulum is great. I cannot fathom how vaping would cause 4-day hearing loss that is helped by sudafed.

Kinda like when my brother had been vaping for about 4 years and he finally got a cold, and my dad blamed vaping. Ironically, my dad took up vaping after that.

PG can be toxic to the middle ear in certain situations. Google ototoxicity and propylene glycol. More or less it is an allergy. ENT Ear Nose Throat... they are all connected. I guess it was the first time he ever vaped. He sounds like a whiner though.

There are actually lots of things that can cause what he experienced. The cause could be environmental, pharmaceutically induced, a result of certain diseases and lots more I'm sure. The fact that he's a new vapor would lead me to believe it was an allergy, but I'm not sure I believe there is a way for anyone to categorically state it was a result of him using something that contained PG unless they prove an allergy to PG first.

My neighbor got athlete's foot after vaping.

I'd be willing to put $1,000 dollars on the table that the crappy noise, oops, I mean music, that he makes caused his issue. Not vaping. Rob Swire sounds like a real whiner, oops again. I meant winner.
